Good afternoon everyone, first of all I am new to python, so please, bear with me.
I am trying to read and manipulate a .parquet file, so I looked up on the internet what should I do and I found that I should use pyarrow or fastparquet.
So I tried pip install pyarrow on my jupyter botebook and it won't stop running (there is an * on the left side of the cell). So I tried on my command prompt and I got the following error:
Error: Failed building wheel for pyarrow (in red)
Failed to build pyarrow (in white)
Error: Could not build wheels for pyarrow which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly (in red)
Of course there is more red text but I was not sure that it was worth copying all and pasting it here. Perhaps these last 3 lines will give you guys a hint on what should I do.
I tried the same for fastparquet, and got the same response on jupyter botebook a mesma situação (there is an * on the left side of the cell) and on the command prompt there is a different response, a lot of red text and it seems here that I need Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 (Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required.).
Could anyone be kind enough to help me understand why I can't install pyarrow? Or if there is a simpler way to read and manipulate parquet files that I am not aware of I would appreciate.
My Python version is 3.7.4.
